The school play rehearsal became her new favorite activity. Mrs. Evans, the drama teacher, had a vibrant energy. The same woman who encouraged her to try out for the school play years ago. A wave of nostalgia swept over her.

She volunteered to help with the costumes, spending hours meticulously sewing buttons and adjusting hems. She found herself lost in her work, happily immersed in the close proximity to Mrs. Evans.

She would steal glances at her across the room, feeling a rush of warmth whenever their eyes met. She felt alive, like she was participating in something truly special.
